BMX WORLDS 2007
INFORMATION
For Immediate Release:
May 25, 2007
TRACK UNVEILING FIRST STEP TO BMX WORLDS
Victoria, BC –The official track for the 2007 UCI BMX World Championships
received rave reviews from the Canadian National BMX team today. Six of Canada’s top
BMX riders were the first to hit the track at today’s unveiling ceremony at
the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre.
“We’re excited to have the
track open,” said David Richardson, President of the Victoria BMX 2007 World
Championships Society. “Feedback on the track has been fantastic,” said
Richardson. “It’s a great facility that will allow us to send a strong BMX
contingent to the Olympics in 2008.”
Victoria will host the 2007 UCI
BMX World Championship, the last world-class event before the BMX sport
makes its debut at the 2008 Olympics. Over 2500
athletes from 40 nations will compete at the UCI BMX World Championships
July 26-29, 2007. The development and unveiling of a world-class track in
Victoria is a great opportunity for Victoria and the Canadian athletes. The
event will showcase both Victoria and the sport of BMX and will potentially
generate $16 million in direct and indirect economic activity.
According to Samantha Cools,
five-time UCI BMX World champion, the new track is world class and will be a
good learning tool for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. “It’s hard and
challenging, but it’s going to be fun,” said Cools.
Riding the track today was a
bit nerve racking, said Christine Miller. “It’s a hard track, but we need to
step up and prove that we’re World’s material.” Miller, 19, is confident
about the upcoming World Championships because the Canadian team has a home
track advantage. “It’s pretty cool. This is ourtrack for training for the
Worlds.”
Tanya Dubnicoff, Canada’s
national BMX coach, said riding the track today gave the team a huge
advantage. “There’s not enough money in the world that could give the team
this kind of advantage,” she said. Pre-riding the track mentally prepares
the team and allows them to get their bearings. The team will take advantage
of the track by training on it every other week.
Overall the team was impressed
with the layout and quality of the track. It’s smooth, fairly large and has
nice short jumps. Although construction of the track began in October and
recommenced two months ago after a wet winter delay, the design has been in
the works for almost two years, said Daryll Michell, the track’s contractor
and a previous BMX World participant. The track consists of 5000 yards of
material and 200 tons of asphalt.

Space: Cyclists' Final Frontier

Providence employees say hospital gives
no love to bike commuters.
For a hospital that
sponsors one of the nation's largest bicycling events, Providence Portland
Medical Center doesn't share that support for cycling with its
own employees.
The Northeast Portland
hospital lacks sufficient parking
spaces for bikes, a situation that's especially galling to cyclists who note
that Providence is an institution ostensibly concerned about public
health.
"It's a hospital,"
says Jerod Potter, a clerical employee in Providence's oncology department.
"A healthy lifestyle should be promoted. Instead they promote driving to
work and smoking."
"On weekdays,
especially on sunny days, the bike parking is full," Potter says, adding
that doubling the number of available spaces would adequately provide what's
needed.
If Potter hops in his
car, more than 2,000 parking spots await him at work. But since he's a bike
commuter, he must find room .........for the rest of the story

SEA OTTER CLASSIC
ANNOUNCES 2008 EVENT DATES
info from
bicycle retailer
MAY 15, 2007
-- MONTEREY, CA -Citing the probability of better weather, organizers for the
Sea Otter Classic have pushed back the dates for next year's event to May
1-4.
Event directors said another factor in determining the move from April to
May was the schedules of national and international races for 2008.
"In response to requests and recommendations from our athletes, fans and
sponsors, we have decided to host the Sea Otter Classic on May 1-4, 2008,"
said Frank Yohannan, president and chief executive officer of the Sea Otter
Classic. "We look forward to seeing all our supporters at the 18th Annual
Sea Otter Classic."
Almost 10 months after he won
the Tour de France, American cyclist Floyd Landis will defend himself
against charges that he doped at the world's biggest bike race.
Landis will
face a three-person arbitration panel Monday in Malibu, Calif., but the
mild-mannered former Mennonite's strategy will be to turn the tables and put
the U.S.Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the anti-doping establishment on
trial.
"There is
more importance to these proceedings than a chance to begin to right a wrong
being done to me," Landis says. "They represent an important test to see if
the anti-doping system can begin to change for the good of sport and the
sake of justice and fairness."
Under
USADA rules and the World Anti-Doping Code, anti-doping agencies are not

VELODROME BILL STALLS
IN SALEM
Senate Bill 926,
which seeks to use $3.5 million in state lottery funds
to build three new velodromes in Oregon, is stalled on
the desk of the Ways and Means Committee.
The bill is
awaiting referral to a subcommittee, but so far Ways and
Means Committee Co-Chair
Mary Nolan
(D-Portland) has not passed the bill along. The reason?
She has not heard from enough supporters of the bill,
and has some reservations about
using
state lottery
funds to pay for velodromes..
I have been
hitting the gym to try to lean down and gain some strength. So I
thought I would post this article about core muscle training. It is
useful information no matter what discipline of cycling you are in.
CORE
Here's how to train the most important muscles for
cycling.
Your
bulging quads and razor-cut calves are the envy of your pack, and you start
every ride strong. As the ride progresses, though, your hips seesaw in the
saddle, your lower back aches, and you slow in corners. The problem? Your
core cries uncle long before your legs wear out. Although a cyclist's legs
provide the most tangible source of power, the abs and lower back are the
vital foundation from which all movement, including the pedal stroke, stems.
"You can have all the leg strength in the world, but without a stable core

OPENS MAY 19th
The skiing is still sooo good, in fact I had one the best days
doing high speed cruisers (next best thing when there isn't any fresh pow)
last Thursday. But the sun is stronger, I got a sunburn on my face and (the
bigwigs will hang me for saying this), you won't believe how happy I am to
see the brown spots on the lower part of
the mountain. You can even smell the moist earth melting out, coming out of
hibernation. Speaking of which, bears have been sighted in the valley.
Spring is definitely here. I'm so excited, I even went for an X-C ride in Pemby last weekend.
Now, before you get too exited and start bouncing up and down on your bike,
there is still a lot of snow at the top of Fitz chair. We have set the
opening date for May 19 and I know that we will have a lot of work to do
before then. The rusty cogs in our heads are starting to turn as we are
beginning to plan out the year. One part of me is stoked and the other part

THE KOKANEE CRANKWORX JULY 21st -
29th EVENT
SCHEDULE
On May 3, the U.S. Senate will hear the Lewis and Clark Mount
Hood
Wilderness Act of 2007, which will protect many important places to
Oregon cyclists. Senator Ron Wyden (D) and Senator Gordon Smith (R)
recently introduced S 647. The bill bodes well for both land protection
and mountain bicycling and maintains boundary adjustments that will
accommodate access to important trails.
Please call you state senators and let them know you support this bill
... but that with important addition it will get even better. Consider
using these talking points:
You are a
Oregon resident (give town name) and you support the Mount Hood
Wilderness Act.
You support
strong land protections and value opportunities for sustainble
recreation like mountain biking.
The bill needs one important change: Bonny Butte Trail (Trail #471)
should be protected with Wild and Scenic River status, not managed
as Wilderness which bans bikes.
Disco Kids Bike Club will support the FUN kids race at the Mt Hood Cycling
Classic. The date and time is still being finalized but more information
will be sent out soon. However, mark your calendars for Saturday June 9th
when Disco Kids Bike Club will participate in the Grand Opening of the new
Kids Bike Park built next to the Skate Park on Wasco. We will have several
events including a Kids Bike Swap, Freeride Exhibition and much more!
June 2 - Falls
City How about a day of downhilling/freeriding
as much as you can, over and over again, with a shuttle to drive you to
the top of some great trails? That's what the organizers of the Black
Rock Shuttle Day Fundraiser have planned.
This event is a benefit for the Black Rock Mountain Bike Area and
proceeds will go toward trail maintenance.
Lunch is provided. You can check out a map online in advance to see how
great the riding is, but trust us, you're going to like this one. But
there's one catch: They only have room for 120 riders. Slots are filling
up fast and there is no registration on the day of the event. Register
today to guarantee a spot on the shuttle and a full day of riding as
much as you can handle.

RIVER CITY WINS
SPECIALIZED 2007 GREENIE AWARD
info from bicycle
retailer
APRIL 26, 2007 -- PORTLAND, OR --River City Bicycles
has won the first Specialized 2007 Greenie Award, thanks to an eco-conscious
campaign to promote bicycling as a solution to climate change. Specialized
launched the Greenie Awards as a way to acknowledge its retailers'
green-minded efforts and to motivate the public to reduce its global
footprint.
River City’s win was announced on Earth Day, and the award will be presented
at the Specialized Worldwide Dealer event in Salt Lake City this July.
“We applaud our retailers’ efforts and River City for promoting riding a
bike as a solution to offset climate change,” said Mike Sinyard of
Specialized. “Our own Commute Club offset over 18 tons of CO2 in 2006, so we
all recognize just how much every ride counts.”
Dave Guettler, owner of River City Bicycles, has worked in the bicycle
industry for nearly 30 years. Starting as a mechanic at a Schwinn shop in
Chico, California, he worked his way up to management and later co-owned a
chain of seven bike shops in the San Francisco area before deciding to focus
solely on River City Bicycles. Today, his Portland store boasts 15,000
square feet and 55 employees in the peak season.
“At River City, we feel strongly compelled to promote bicycle commuting,
since it benefits us personally and our society as a whole. To that end, we
not only offer products and services tailored to the bike commuter, but
focus 80 percent of our advertising budget on ‘commute by bike’ messaging,”
Guettler said.

ROAM
SOUNDTRACK IN THE WORKS
Overwhelming demand from people around the world stoked on the music in ROAM
has motivated us to produce the ROAM soundtrack. We're working on the
details right now and hopefully we'll have it ready soon. We know some of
the tunes are a bit hard to find, so the soundtrack should answer all your
problems.
